The term "conclave" comes from the Latin phrase "cum clave," meaning "with a key." This refers to the practice of locking the cardinals in a confined space during the papal election process to ensure privacy and security while they deliberate and vote for a new pope. The conclave is held in the Sistine Chapel to maintain this isolation until a decision is reached.
